If only older dandelions weren't so "ugly"! I love the sunny flowers, and when they hug the ground they are sweet dots of color. But when they get tall and leggy, with stems that rival many a pencil, and when their rosettes dominate the lawn, making it look rough and like an abandoned lot, then it is a little hard to love them. Still, their fluffy puffy seed heads are always a draw, insisting we pluck them and blow the seeds away.
